And here she is offering zipped pouches of all sizes, laptop bags, tote/diaper bags, headbands, and wristlet/clutches (all with her signature ruffle) to those that love a little flair.  And, she has recently quit her day job to pursue Gussy full-time.

  4. Woops, you can delete that other comment (didn't read the "fine print"). ;)

    Um, from the Marie-Madeline studio girls...I'd love to get their fandago or cottage apron pattern (tough choice as to which one) or their route 66 skirt pattern I think. :)

    For the gussy I'd love to win a laptop case! :)

    (didn't know if you could enter for "both"s sort of. ;) So just did...but if only can enter for one I'd rather the Marie-Madeline studio patterns. :)

    Okay..sorry for the confusion. ;) Lol!
    Blessings and Hugs!
